A Note From the Publisher

From the Author: "The greatest heroes have always been heretics - brave individuals who challenge the status quo. Listen to your inner voice that says, 'This isn't right.' Give in to that inherent longing you have to recognize the humanity in others and in yourself. Through All-In Leadership, you'll achieve more than you dreamed possible."-Cort Dial

Advance Praise

"Highly recommended!"

"There really aren't words for how impactful this book is."

"Cort's book is different - engaging and begins by invoking the readers at the human level. Each chapter builds on his life's journey and lessons he's learned about from the tip of the spear of leadership."

"I've ordered 3 copies of this book, I love it so much."

"This isn't your typical (business) book where someone just talks at you; it's written almost like a novel, so there are great real-life experiences to draw from, and it's a surprisingly quick read (because you won't be able to put it down)."

"I can't wait to share this book with my friends, colleagues and clients."

"Cort's message was a reminder that hope is not lost. That there is still good in the world. That with the right vision and leadership, business and humanitarian goals can be achieved together."

"This is the extra inspiration and motivation I need to stick with my vision of a brighter future and do whatever I can to help my peers realize it ASAP."

"Frustration, excitement, anger and goose bumps; Mr. Dial took me through a journey that generated emotions within me that reflected deeply upon my leadership "roller coaster."

"This is a PERFECT gift item for anyone you want to inspire to be who they are meant to be in the world, not just as a business person."

Strongly

A really enjoyable memoir about leader coaching which made me think about what I need to do to improve myself and my management style in the workplace. The book is filled with stories of leadership challenges and how with coaching improvements can be made and behaviours changed both in the leader and those below them. I will be honest and say I was disappointed in how much assistance some of these leaders appeared to need to do their jobs, I actually wondered why companies didn't hire somebody like Cort to do the job instead of them. Saying that I see the benefit of having a coach like Cort who will be honest with you and guide you to take the correct actions to resolve the issues being faced and improve leadership skills. You need somebody that will be honest with you as not everybody you work with will. The book also shows that not everybody is willing to change the way they lead or are in denial as to the reasons for their issues. Cort is open and honest in discussing where he has not been able to assist companies and leaders due to their inability to change.
